Can you screw into Hardie board siding?
James Hardie Building Products recommends keeping nails or screws at least 3/8 inch from the end of a plank. Drill pilot holes, at each mark, one-quarter to one-half inch deep, to make it easier to insert screws and prevent cracking the siding. Align the bracket holes with the pilot holes in the siding.
What do you fasten Hardie board with?

Do you need Thinset under Hardie board?
Since you are putting down hardie board on boards with small gaps, I would not recommend trying to put down thinset under it. It will make an enormous mess under the house (or whatever is under your bathroom). It is also more likely to make the floor uneven since it is hard to level thinset that is separated by gaps.
Is Hardie board more expensive than vinyl siding?
Cost. There is no doubt about it, the advantages of hardie board come with a cost. Vinyl siding is far less expensive, both in terms of the product itself and labor costs to install it. Part of the savings stems from the fact that vinyl is much easier to cut, work with, and install.
